beautiful, I've started practicing this piece but couldn't get it in my head. You play wonderfully and thank you for putting it on youtube.

[nathanielpiano]

@schirmer101 Thanks :) It is tricky to play--I don't think I played it a lot like the original recording, but that's okay. Just keep at it--don't give up :) No prob

Very nice! Better instrument than at your grad ceremony, too... I like Bunessan and the Cat Stevens tune. I visited Joseph Martin's website though and it kinda frightened me...-)

[nathanielpiano]

@maduninc Yeah the instrument there was kinda lame :) Played worse, though.. yeah the Cat Stevens version is very nice. haha yeahhh Joseph Martin's an interesting fellow :P Thanks maduninc

Good to see you've been busy. This was a good chance for you to show the scope of your skills- well played. ^^ Sometimes the slower pieces are harder than the fast ones, you know. Good work again.

[nathanielpiano]

@VolensxAstrum Thanks so much :) Yeah, it's true. esp the long ones like this heheh, it sucks when you make an error after being like 7 minutes into it and have to start over! In the slow pieces every note counts, and emotional value is far more important

[VolensxAstrum]

@nathanielpiano Yep, in the faster runs you can get away with little mistakes and not many will notice, but in the slower ones, not so much. Hope you get your piano tuned up soon; I'm really looking forward to hearing the pieces you mentioned- you've got some of my favorites in there. XP

oooo - so chill man. loved it. and not an easy looking piece to play at all despite your modesty, esp considering the sheer length of it if anything! so, not recorded on a zoomQ3 :P man, i love your full on pursuit of achieving optimal sound quality as well as getting the absolute best out of your piano! really look forward to future uploads! the list is superb! those who fight tops it for me - i've been running through it myself the past days a bit too - such drama! kudos for the upload again!

[nathanielpiano]

@daigoro789 Ah Daigoro! Where ya been,? :D You vanished :) Ya, I bought a Q3, and it worked slightly better than my old setup, but overall positioning the mics to the absolute PERFECT position ended up working best :) Hope to see more uploads from you soon man :)Thanks for the compliments too XD

[daigoro789]

@nathanielpiano ahhhh you noticed :P, i've been away for a while at my piano-less home away from home - got back a few days ago, but will be off again at some point - needless to say, my piano playing/studying is suffering! we'll see if i can manage any quick and cheeky uploads though :P haha, so it took as much as finding the optimal position for the mics, for it to compare with the Q3! am impressed that it could even compare in anyway tbh! all the compliments are well deserved man :)))

[nathanielpiano]

@daigoro789 Ahh so that's what happened :3 I figured somethin was going on ;) Well hope you can keep playing as well as you've been. Would be sad to see your skills suffer! Ya the Q3 is actually VERY impressive;certainly a good buy for the price paid! Thanks daigoro :) Keep it going, alright!? I don't want to see you stop XD
